[ot][spam] log: trying to take control of my free government phone

[Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many]

i spent some time learning about things
my device’s partitions are all mounted in the ramdisk loaded by the
kernel, completely separate from the system partition i’ve been
reflashing.
the ramdisk is in a partition in another custom android format called
bootimg. there are tools online from the android source to make these
images and unpack them. the unix magic file utility also shows the
ramdisk offset to manually extract it.

these various partitions can yield fruit, for example there may be
logfiles in the cache partition.

it looks like the way to disable encryption would be to repack my
bootimg partition. the recovery image is a gzipped cpio archive.

worried some about my use of time.
